VA panel?

[4K8KW10]

Many apologies. I'm so used to you trolling that I assumed you were doing so here

In this case, you are trolling.
If you don't understand me, better not engage in a discussion.
People who are against the status quo, monopolies and unfair marketing lies are not trolls.
This is just a justification of the monopoly - everyone who is against them is trolling.

BenQ's own take on the different panels https://www.benq.eu/en-uk/knowledge...va-and-ips-panels-for-the-games-you-play.html

And not accurate or honest take.
Just for start colour gamut has really nothing to do with LCD type, but is product of backlight and pixel colour filter array specifications.
And related to price point where monitor has been placed...
But even the more expensive TNs have rarely wide gamut.
Also VAs have rarely really wide gamut, while the cheapest IPS panels are sRGB gamut panels.

TN suffers from brightness/colout changes of dark and bright shades even when looked from dead on center.
A-TW filter equipped IPS would be the closest thing to proper CRT/self emissive display like viewing angles.

And it's VA which has the most problems in response times with dark shade transitions being the way slowest.
All modern IPS panels are far better in dark shade transitions than any VA (except couple Samsung Odyssey models) and give lot more consistent response times.
Neither it's IPS but VA, which tries to crush darkest shades into same completely black courtesy of horizontal gamma shift inherent in VA LCD.

While without rare even at the best time A-TW filter IPS is the most challenged/worst fit in dimly illuminated/darkened room.

VA is the only panel type which is able to reach true deep blacks.

Having used VA as first LCD after CRTs have to disagree.
VA is vertainly hands down superior to IPS and TN in contrast/black value, but it's still no match for self emissive displays.

I'd usually completely agree with you 4K, the problem is that you need to combat these kinds of things with Facts. Misinformation even if you think you're on the right side of the argument is equally as bad.

I'm not suggesting for a second that you're a bad person, you just seem to jump in with these blanket statements which can be poorly researched at best which you continue to defend until the bitter end.

I guess everyone has opinions about tech but rarely is everything black and white. Corporations be them Nvidia, Amd , Intel , Gigabyte ,Asus etc etc Just want your money they don't care about you as an individual only their bottom line, and they'll use every trick in the book to get it.

Yeah I remember finally moving on from my Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 21" Crt to my first TN panel and being horrified at how washed out it looked and the terrible ghosting

VA is the only panel type which is able to reach true deep blacks. IPS only reaches dark greys.

I'd hardly call VA blacks 'true', but they're as good as you'll get on current LCD tech. Only OLED offers true blacks. But you have to factor in overshoot and blur which almost every VA panel suffers from, to varying degrees, although it is often a subjective thing. And as has been mentioned, there are other trade-offs outside of games, such as gamma shift and colour accuracy. For gaming alone, VA generally is going to be preferable for many, providing they aren't bothered by overshoot. One other thing to note though is that VA panels can be just as susceptible as IPS to light bleed, so anyone coming from a bad experience with IPS shouldn't think they're going to avoid the risk of that. I've seen some horrendous examples of it myself that render the monitor totally unsuable even in a well lit room.

Mostly due to poor QA procedures, LCD in general is just trash these days, and buying a monitor has become one of the most stressful and frustrating purchases I've ever encountered. My OLED is the only display I've bought in nearly a decade that I was actually happy with, and I've tried countless monitors.
